Hugh Jackman and Taylor Swift attended the Baldoni vs. Ryan Reynolds Exchange

Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman had a front row seat during a huge Hollywood controversy – new court documents reveal they were there when Ryan Reynolds let go of Justin Baldoni during a heated confrontation over Blake Lively.

TMZ obtained the documents, and they detail a tense moment at Reynolds’ New York penthouse on April 25, 2023 — where Ryan reportedly confronted Baldoni about a comment about Blake’s weight that he apparently viewed as scandalous.

According to the documents, Reynolds snapped and called Baldoni directly… and the whole discussion quickly became emotional. Baldoni apologized, became visibly upset and even broke down – while Taylor and Jackman were present as the drama unfolded.

FWIW — a source close to Taylor previously told TMZ that she had no idea this meeting was even happening. She said she simply arrived at Blake’s when Blake told her to, walked to the end of it, and only met Baldoni once in passing. The source also said that Taylor was confused as to why Blake later described her as her “dragon,” calling the characterization a “weird thing to say about a friend.”

The confrontation is now a key part of the ongoing legal war surrounding “It Ends With Us,” with things between Lively and Baldoni getting messier every week.
